$$X = 9.2\%$$

Question 7

Which of the following best explains why a water strider can walk on water?

Accepted Answer

Surface tension creates a force that supports the insect's weight.

Question 8

A worm uses its hydrostatic skeleton for movement. If the effective area of the circular muscle per unit length is $$A_M$$ and the force produced per unit area is $$S$$, what is the total force generated along each centimeter of the worm's length?

Accepted Answer

$$f_M = S A_M$$

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct formula for the pressure required to split a cylindrical hydrostatic skeleton, given the force per unit length $$f_M$$ and radius $$r$$?

Question 12

An animal of volume $$V$$ and density $$\rho$$ floats with a fraction $$f of $$its volume submerged in water of density $$\rho_w. $$What is the buoyant force acting on the animal?

Accepted Answer

$$F_B = g f V \rho_w$$

Question 13

If the net force on an interior molecule in a liquid is zero, what causes surface tension at the liquid's surface?

Accepted Answer

Molecules at the surface experience a net inward force due to lack of neighboring molecules above.

Question 14

Which formula gives the kinetic energy imparted to the water each second by the limbs of an animal treading water?

Accepted Answer

$$P = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

Question 15

A column of liquid is supported by surface tension. If the radius of the column is $$R$$, the height is $$h$$, and the density is $$\rho$$, what is the weight $$W of $$the column?

Accepted Answer

$$W = \pi R^2$ h g \rho$$

Question 16

Which equation describes the height $$h of a $$liquid column supported by surface tension $$T in a $$tube of radius $$R$$ and contact angle $$	heta$$?

Accepted Answer

$$h = \frac{2 T \cos 	heta}{R g ho}$$

Question 17

If an animal of volume $$V$$ and density $$\rho$$ floats in water of density $$\rho_w$$, what is the difference between the gravitational and buoyed forces acting on it?

Accepted Answer

$$F_D = g V (\rho - f \rho_w)$$
